You're literally doing what GP is describing. We have objective data on running shoes on: https://runrepeat.com/
The foams are getting better, the shoes lighter, they are more cushioned and more responsive in general. Especially the ASICS.

I was convinced by this for a full 30 seconds before I realized there are millions of advertisements for the state lotteries. They aren't just regulating a market that will exist with or without the state, they are actively promoting and encouraging it
Amongst acquaintances I see low carb adherents. I wonder why they are always the ones woefully less fit than the serious athlete acquaintances. Amongst serious athletes there is no low carb proselytizing lol.
For sure it can help people who don't exercise and thus don't use much carbs in the first place. But that is far from ideal health, and thus the ideal diet.
OpenAI is going to implode soon. They would have to raise an unfathomable amount of money, it's literally never been done and is so much it won't happen. That's why they're going to collapse.
He could have predicted that OpenAI would raise an unprecedented amount of money and are not going to collapse. He clearly believed differently.
"Development of superhuman machine intelligence (SMI) is probably the greatest threat to the continued existence of humanity. There are other threats that I think are more certain to happen (for example, an engineered virus with a long incubation period and a high mortality rate) but are unlikely to destroy every human in the universe in the way that SMI could." - Sam Altman

Frontier labs are also reinvesting their tens of billions of revenue back into infra scaleout, sounds like Amazon.
If 2 of 3 were like this, and Azure numbers were never split out, want to take a guess what the economics of the third was like too?
Yes, I don’t think lab leadership are totally reasonable as they were concerned about the risks and yet lack of reason caused them to directly contribute to the problem we’re facing. They’re still not being reasonable when they throw their hands up at the arms race and hope the utopia come, when that’s not our trajectory at all and more lab employees are realizing it

Dario discussing AGI Existential Risk in 2014 before OpenAI and Anthropic: https://intelligence.org/2014/01/13/miri-strategy-conversati...
Both companies have deluded themselves into thinking the arms race is going to happen anyway and they need to rush to it first, as if somehow that helps.
Typical uninformed take on the side of "doomers are crazy".
Both CEO's of OpenAI, Sam Altman and Dario Amodei, and many in their leadership, believe AGI has a very real probability of causing humanity's extinction. Both companies were founded upon this belief, it is at the core of the company. Only later were mercenaries hired chasing $1m compensation packages.
The ability for the human mind to rationalize conclusions to maintain denial in the face of a very scary future is immense. Genuinely grappling with the implication of where we're headed is usually very crushing. It's not easy to engage with the possibility, and very intelligent people will use those smarts to feel safe.
